Abstract. This study assesses the temporal behaviour in terms of inter-decadal
variability of extreme daily rainfall of stated return period relevant for
hydrologic risk analysis using a novel regional parametric approach. The
assessment is carried out based on annual maximum daily rainfall series of
180 meteorological stations of Yangtze River Basin over a 50-year period
(1961–2010). The outcomes of the analysis reveal that while there were
effects present indicating higher quantile values when estimated from data of
the 1990s, it is found not to be noteworthy to exclude the data of any decade
from the extreme rainfall estimation process for hydrologic risk analysis.
